Catching up with February!!

WOW!!  February has absolutely flown by!  I can't believe it is already March, with spring knocking on our door.  We were totally cheated out of a winter, so for me, it's hard to really enjoy the warm weather :(.  Anyway, there is SO much happening in the Robbins' household!  The beginning of February was busy for Zack as Valentine's Day approached.  Needless to say, Silver Fox is a very popular restaurant, especially during the week of Valentine's Day!  Because of this, we had to postpone our plans until the following week.  As is now tradition, we went to Texas de Brazil and absolutely pigged out!!  For those of you who don't know, at Texas de Brazil you have a small token that is red on one side and green on the other.  All kinds of meat is continuously being brought through the restaurant and you guessed it, green means GO!!  We used to go to a similar restaurant in Houston when we were all little and all I remember is that my brothers would make it into a competition...of course.  Unfortunately, it wasn't much of a competition between me and Zack :)

After that, it was on to celebrate Zack's 28th birthday.  I think he was pretty happy with how it turned out :) We had dinner at the new Tim Love restaurant, the Woodshed, with our good friends Peyton and Brandon Cole.  It was amazing!  The food was unbelievable, the fellowship was great and the weather was perfect.  It was nice and cool, so we sat outside next to one of their huge fire pits.  The restaurant is right on the Trinity River and opens up right on the trails.  Again, if you live in Fort Worth or ever visit, you HAVE to try it.  Later on in the week, we had a bunch of our friends over for dinner and games.  It was such a wonderful night and we both felt so blessed to have such great people in our lives.  As far as Zack's gift goes...he was like a kid on Christmas!  He finally got his fish tank :)  We now have eight new members of the Robbins family!  It was quite the journey though, we lost six fish before finally getting to where we are now.  The first five were our dollar fish, and just couldn't handle the transfer...they died within four hours of bringing them home.  That was rough... lol.  Then we got two bigger fish...Steve and Earl.  However, it wasn't long that we discovered Steve is quite the bully!!  He teased and pushed Earl around until finally Earl became so depressed that he stopped eating and slowly drifted away :(  So to get Steve back, we brought home seven new fish!  That will surely show him he doesn't rule the fish tank!!!  I didn't use a flash and couldn't really get a good shot of the fish, but here it is!! The big red one is Steve...

In other news, I have recently joined a talent agency here in Fort Worth and am looking forward to seeing what comes of that in the upcoming months.  Zack has also recently attained a new job working at the Woodshed!!  We just can't get enough :)  He has been working his tail off, going through training, while still serving at Silver Fox in the evenings.  I am so proud of his hard work :) He leaves for his training gig in Branson in just a couple of weeks and is excited for that.  Look for exciting stories about his trip in next months blog!!

I think that's pretty much all for now.  Thanks for reading and caring about our lives :)  We love you!!
